Episode 86 - Paris is lovely this time of year


Diversification is a great way to protect our portfolios from unexpected risk. One simple way to broaden exposure and therefore reduce risk from the stock portion of our portfolio is to buy stocks from different countries. Indexed international stock funds offer a low cost way to do this.


In this episode we will compare the performance of US vs non-US stocks and offer some suggestions on how to think about adding international stocks to your portfolio.
